Sebastião Salgado
The Serra Pelada gold mine
Brazil, 1986
I first saw Salgodo's work in paris in 2000 in an amazing retrospective and I immediately fell in love with his work. His imagery opened my eyes to a world that we rarely see ourselves if ever and the prints are beautifully done despite the brutality of his imagery. For me his work has been inspiring and enlightening since I was a young photographer.

Garry Winogrand. Cape Kennedy, Florida, (Apollo 11 Moon Shot), 1969. Gift of Elizabeth and Frederick Myers. © Estate of Garry Winogrand, courtesy Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco.
This show sounded interesting to me; it is a different take on the ordinary photograph and the way many big names approached the problems and inspirations associated with the common or amateur aesthetics in photography. Check out the link for a better explanation of the show. I also really enjoy the image above.
